Last year’s Game 7 had the highest rating of any hockey game since 1969 and there was only team from a US market involved. There has to be something else going on here. The Bruins are actually playing a more entertaining brand of hockey than they did last year. They are scoring a lot of goals and are still playing a very physical game. I wonder if it has something to do with the teams you mentioned already having deals with Comcast while the Bruins have a deal with NESN, which they partially own (Red Sox own a larger share).

I would just think that the league would want to showcase its two top US teams right now.

Here is a list of the following teams and the amount of times that they will be broadcast on VS/NBC before the next time the Bruins are televised.

I guess if they weren’t the defending Stanley Cup Champions, they would never be on.

I don’t live where I can get the local broadcasts of them, I would like to see the team that I follow without having to shell out $179.00 so I can get a whole lot more hockey games I don’t want to watch.
